I realized it has been quite some time since I last wrote anything on The Brimstone Blog. I really do not have anything insightful to say today (as if I ever do), however, I just wanted to post a little something to let everyone out there know that I’m still here on this planet.
Let me start by lamenting the lost of a great American actor, Charlton Heston, this past weekend. A larger-than-life figure who starred in many a cinematic epic, including “Ben-Hur” (for which he won an Oscar), “The Ten Commandments,” ”Khartoum,” “A Touch of Evil,” “The Agony and the Ecstasy” and the enduring “Planet of the Apes.”
Married to the same woman for sixty years, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Chuck Heston stood with Martin Luther King in support of the Civil Rights Movement as well as becoming President of the National Rifle Association, thus proving that one does not have to consistently reside on only one side of the political fence. And by the way, if he was ten years younger and not experiencing the onset of Allzheimer’s disease, he would have kicked the shit out of that bloated, unfunny, blow-hard, Michael Moore as he made the ridiculous “Bowling for Columbine.”
With that said, my last thought for the day and on a completely different note is that, much like WFMU’s Bill Kelly, I’m wondering if Joe Girardi is gonna let Joba Chamberlain throw at David Ortiz as he crowds the plate this season. I sure hope so.
